Jelly Bean Blanket

I finished Miss M's blanket over the weekend. She has named it the Jelly Bean blanket which I think is as good a name as any!

The pattern for the squares is from the book Granny Squares by Susan Pinner. I really, really love this book and can't recommend it enough. The projects are simple to do but turn out so pretty. I think this is my fourth time using this particular pattern in a blanket...I just love the effect it gives.

I made 36 squares and joined them with a double crochet seam. The border is 2 rounds of trebles and then a row of shell clusters. I used a 3.5mm hook and all the yarn was from the Stylecraft Special DK range (love this yarn so much!). The colours I used were cream, lemon, spring green, clematis, candy floss and cloud blue.

So another blanket finished...I guess that means on to the next one then?!

Hi Marrianne, thanks for buying my book, and I'm so glad you have enjoyed several patterns from it...great name for your blanket. Hope you have seen the alternative optionsS for the patterns in the first book that I have been posting on my blog..lots to play with. New book is just out too, very exciting thanks again
